  • Publication number: 20050289575
    Abstract: To provide an electronic device with a built-in disk device including a disk device and disk device control substrate arranged side by side capable of reducing problems caused when a flexible flat cable connected to a pickup section which is a movable section touches other members inside the device and reducing a load applied to a connection of the flexible flat cable. In an FFC 23 provided with a slack portion 23a to absorb the moving distance of a pickup section 11a, the slack portion 23a is provided with a bending section 23b and bending section 23c bent in mutually opposite curving directions and the bending section 23b is stopped by an L-figured stopper 40 to thereby prevent a connection 12a from being affected by sliding of the pickup section 11a (load caused by the movement of the FFC near the connection).
